After the two nations were drawn together in the same World Cup pool on Monday, the head of the Welsh Rugby Union, Roger Lewis, mooted the idea that the contest could be held at the Millennium Stadium.

Lewis described the Millennium as 'the finest rugby stadium in the world,' with eight matches - including two quarter-finals - already earmarked for the Welsh capital.

However, RFU chief Ian Ritchie has rejected this proposal saying: "We have a very nice home of our own and I would hope very much we would contemplate playing the match here."
